CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”) and its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Preparation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements, and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results for the interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year.
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Presentation Changes
Certain prior period amounts within the “Cash flows from operating activities” section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Discontinued Operations
As described in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, during the third quarter of 2023, the Company’s plan to sell the businesses comprising its Europe-South segment met the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations. In accordance with GAAP, assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and results of discontinued operations are reported as a separate component of “Consolidated net loss” in the Consolidated Statements of Loss, for all periods presented. Cash flows from discontinued operations are not reported separately in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Refer to Note 2 for additional discussion of discontinued operations. All other notes to these consolidated financial statements present the results of continuing operations and exclude amounts related to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
NOTE 2 – DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In 2023, the Company sold, or entered into an agreement to sell, its businesses in Switzerland, Italy, Spain and France, which comprised the Company’s entire Europe-South segment, as follows:
•On March 31, 2023, the Company sold its business in Switzerland for cash proceeds of $84.9 million (net of direct costs to transact the sale and cash sold) and recognized a gain on sale of $96.4 million.
•On May 31, 2023, the Company sold its business in Italy for cash proceeds of $4.3 million (net of direct costs to transact the sale and cash sold) and recognized a gain on sale of $11.2 million.
•In May 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its business in Spain to a subsidiary of JCDecaux SE. Since that time and as of September 30, 2024, the transaction was expected to close in 2024. However, on October 28, 2024, the subsidiary of JCDecaux SE terminated the agreement after deciding to withdraw its regulatory filing with the Spanish National Markets and Competition Commission (the “CNMC”) in light of the commitments required by the CNMC.

(UNAUDITED)
•In July 2023, the Company entered into exclusive discussions to sell its business in France, and, in connection with the anticipated sale, recognized a loss of $200.6 million during the third quarter of 2023. The sale was completed in October 2023.
Gains and losses related to these sales are included within “Income (loss) from discontinued operations” on the Consolidated Statements of Loss, and net cash proceeds are reflected within “Net proceeds from disposition of businesses and/or assets” in the investing activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company concluded that, in aggregate, the sales of these businesses met the criteria for discontinued operations presentation in the third quarter of 2023. As a result, each of these businesses has been reclassified to discontinued operations in these financial statements for all periods presented.
Assets and Liabilities of Discontinued Operations
As previously described, assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these balances consisted of assets and liabilities of the Company’s business in Spain, which were all classified as current as the sale of this business was expected to close in 2024. However, on October 28, 2024, the agreement was terminated, as previously described.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the carrying amounts of the major classes of these assets and liabilities to the current assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as presented on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets:

NOTE 3 – SEGMENT DATA
The Company has four reportable segments, which it believes best reflect how the Company is currently managed: America, Airports, Europe-North and Europe-South. The Company's remaining operations in Latin America and Singapore are disclosed as “Other.” As described in Note 2, the Company’s Europe-South segment met the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations during the third quarter of 2023. As such, results of this segment are excluded from the table below, which only reflects continuing operations, for all periods presented.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability metric reported to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to, and assessing performance of, each reportable segment. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as revenue less direct operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding restructuring and other costs, which are defined as costs associated with cost-saving initiatives such as severance, consulting and termination costs and other special costs. Segment information for total assets is not presented as this information is not used by the Company’s CODM in measuring segment performance or allocating resources between segments.
The following table presents the Company’s reportable segment results for continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of its strategies related to these proceedings. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Although the Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of the Company’s litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes, employment and benefits-related claims, land use and zoning disputes, governmental fines, intellectual property claims, personal injury claims and tax disputes.
